Why do we accept so many insults in education? | Pedro

The past few years I’ve seen it happening over and over again. You find yourself in a room full of teachers or principals listening to a speaker – usually from outside education – who in a charismatic and funny way, insults the entire audience, calling them sheep, obsolete, redundant … You can see the same happening in often shared videos, such as the videos by Ken Robinson or Prince EA. These videos don’t have to be 50% correct (eg Robinson ) or they can even be completely wrong (eg Prince EA ), but they are still massively shared, often by teachers and principals themselves.
